Can you guys explain to me a standard "protocol" for a physical meetup. As in, do you pay in cash? Do you offer the cash first and then undergo the Bitcoin transaction? Basically how do you actually go about the exchange?
I have not done it personally. But I would suggest meeting in a public place with internet Starbucks, Mc Donalds, etc etc(even better if your phone has wifi capability that can be used with laptop to connect to) . I pick these places as you could stay there a bit. You will be waiting for at least one conformation, unless buyer want's more.
But as always with something of value be careful. Make sure not to do anything like bring all your BTC, leave cold storage at home. Also I would invest in a pen that shows if cash is fake.
